State College Spikes News Release


UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - Due to a rainstorm that passed through the State College area and rendered the field not ready for play by 9:05 p.m., the limit for starting the game per New York-Penn League rules, Wednesday night's scheduled game between the State College Spikes and the Williamsport Crosscutters at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park has been postponed.

The two teams will make up the game as part of a doubleheader consisting of two seven-inning games on Thursday night at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park.

Tickets for Wednesday night's game can be redeemed for a ticket of equal or lesser value to any remaining regular season Spikes home game in the 2019 season, based on availability.
